Important Information before Use

1. Blood pressure measurements should only be interpreted by a physician or a trained health care professional who is familiar with your medical history. Through regular use of this device and recording of your measurements, you can keep your physician informed of the changes in your blood pressure.
2. Perform your measurement in a quiet place. You should be seated in a relaxed position.
3. Avoid smoking, eating, taking medication, alcohol consumption or physical activity 30 minutes prior to taking a reading. If you are exhibiting signs of stress, avoid taking your measurement until the feeling subsides.

7. Record your daily blood pressure and pulse readings on a chart.
8. Take your readings at the same time, each day or as recommended by your physician to get an accurate indication of change in your true blood pressure.
9. Wait a minimum of 15 minutes between readings to allow for the blood vessels to return to normal. The wait time may vary depending on your individual physiological characteristics.
10. Although such cases are rare, for those with an extremely weak pulse or irregular pulse, errors may result which prevent proper measurement. If abnormal variations are noticed, consult with your physician or trained healthcare professional.
11. This device is intended for adult use. While taking a measurement, you can stop the inflation or deflation process of the cuff at any time by pressing the POWER button.

BATTERY INSTALLATION

Low battery warning:
It is necessary to replace the batteries when the Low Battery symbol “ ” appears on the display, or when the display does not turn on after the POWER key is pressed.
Replacing the Battery:

1. Press down on latch and lift the cover on the bottom of the monitor.
2. Insert or replace 4x 1.5 V AAA batteries into the battery compartment, ensuring to match the indicated polarity symbols. Always use new batteries.
3. Replace the battery cover.

CAUTION: Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.
NOTE: Battery-operated

1. Please properly dispose of the batteries away from small children and heat. Do not let children swallow the battery.
2. Remove the batteries if the unit will not be used for more than 1 month.
3. Batteries must be disposed of in accordance with local environmental and institutional policies.

SETTING THE DATE AND TIME
It is necessary to set the date and time for the unit every time batteries are initially installed or replaced.
To set the date and time, proceed as follows:

• While in power off mode, press and hold the “SET” key for at least 3 seconds to enter Date and Time setting procedure and the Year value will begin to flash.
• Press the “SET” key to advance the display to the desired year, press the “M” key to confirm the year.
• Next, the month will blink. Repeat step 2 to set the month and date, then hours, then minutes.
• After setting the minutes, the unit will automatically exit out of the date/time setting mode and shut off.

PLACEMENT OF THE PRESSURE SLEEVE

It is important to avoid smoking, eating, taking medication, alcohol consumption or physical activity 30 minutes prior to taking a reading. If for any reason you are unable to or should not use your left arm, please modify the instructions for cuff application to your right arm. Your physician can help you identify which arm is best for you to take measurements from.

1. Remove any restrictive clothing or jewelry that may interfere with cuff placement.

2. Sit at a table or desk with your feet flat on the floor.

3. The cuff should not be plugged into the monitor until after the cuff is applied to your arm.
   Note: Blood pressure naturally varies from one arm to the other; therefore, always measure your blood pressure on the same arm to ensure comparability of the two readings.

4. Position the cuff on a solid surface with the tubing facing up and away from you. The metal ring/bar on the cuff should be to the left of the tubing.

5. Open the cuff by pulling or rolling the bottom of the cuff to the right. This should open the cuff without fully unrolling it, creating a cylinder. Do not fully unwrap or unroll the cuff.

6. Insert your left arm into the created cuff cylinde

7. The bottom edge of the cuff should be positioned approximately one inch (2.5cm) above the elbow joint.

8. Reaching underneath your left arm with your right hand, pull the end of the cuff towards your body to tighten the cuff. Wrap and secure the cuff, making sure it is in place as shown.

9. The cuff should fit comfortably, yet snugly around your arm. You should be able to insert one finger easily between your arm and the cuff.

Note:
If you are not comfortable with applying your cuff, please seek the assistance of another member of your household or work with your physician to practice the cuff application. Incorrectly applied cuffs may result in inaccurate readings.

MEASUREMENT OF PULSE RATE AND BLOOD PRESSURE

To set the user and memory zone, proceed as follows:
While in power off mode, press the “SET” key to select user. Confirm your selection with the Power key to turn the power on and start to measure your blood pressure. Or wait for 3 seconds, your selection is then stored and shut off automatically.

1. Press the Power key to turn the power on. After full display is shown, the values for the last reading will appear on the display. If there is no measurement, the unit displays the value “0”.
2. After the self-test, the blood pressure monitor starts to measure. The cuff will automatically begin to inflate, with the display showing the increasing pressure in the cuff.
3. As the pressure increases, the indicator will increase upwards according to the pressure value on the display.
4. As the cuff inflates, the monitor automatically determines your ideal inflation level. This monitor detects your blood pressure and pulse rate during inflation.
5. To detect the heartbeat, the heartbeat symbol will appear and continuous flashes on the LCD display.
6. Your blood pressure measurement and pulse will display simultaneously on the screen.
7. The Hypertension Indicator will indicate your reading range on the display separately.
